Kinetic energy is the energy that is possessed by an object that is moving. It is calculated by one-half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:<span>

For the truck,
KE = mv^2 / 2
KE = 20000 kg (110 km/h (1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km))^2 / 2
KE = 611111.11 J

For the astronaut,
KE = 80.0 kg (27500 km/h</span>(1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km)<span>)^2/2
KE = 611111.11 J

The kinetic energy possessed by the two bodies are the same.

A solar panel measures 0.57 m by 1.3 m. In direct sunlight, the panel delivers 6.6 A at 6 V. If the intensity of sunlight is 300
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

efficiency of solar panel is 18%

Explanation:

Energy received by the sunlight is given as

Power = intensity \times area

here we know the dimensions of the plate as

L = 0.57 m

W = 1.3 m

now we have

Area = (0.57)(1.3) m^2

A = 0.741 m^2

now the power received by the sun light is given as

P_1 = 0.741(300) = 222.3 W

now the output power due to solar panel is given as

P_{out} = V i

P_{out} = (6.6 A)(6 V)

P_{out} = 39.6 Watt

now the efficiency is given as

\eta = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}

\eta = \frac{39.6}{222.3}

\eta = 0.18

Hull (1943) had rats push a lever that required 21 grams of force to budge. After they had learned to push the lever in order to
Zina [86]

Years of research have demonstrated that rats are intelligent creatures who experience pain and pleasure, care about one another, are able to read the emotions of others, and would assist other rats, even at their own expense.

<h3>Experiments:</h3>

In trials carried out at Brown University in the 1950s, rats were trained to press a lever for food, but they stopped pressing the lever when they noticed that with each press, a rat in an adjacent cage would scream in pain (after experiencing an electric shock).

Rats were trained to press a lever to lower a block that was hanging from a hoist by electric shocks administered by experimenters. A rat was subsequently hoisted into a harness by the experimenters, and according to their notes, "This animal normally shrieked and wriggled sufficiently while dangling, and if it did not, it was jabbed with a sharp pencil until it exhibited indications of discomfort." Even if it wasn't in danger of receiving a shock, a rat watching the scenario from the floor would pull a lever to lower the hapless rodent to safety.

The sound from a single source can reach point O by two different paths. One path is 20.0 m long and the second path is 21.0 m l
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

Explanation:

given data

One path long = 20 m

second path long = 21 m

speed of sound = 340 m/s

solution

we get here destructive phase that is path difference of minimum \frac{\lambda}{2}

here  λ is the wavelength of the wave

so path difference will be

21 - 20 = \frac{\lambda}{2}  

λ = 2 m

and

velocity that is express as

velocity = frequency × wavelength    .............1

frequency  = \frac{340}{2}  

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

2. A person applies a force of 66 N to a fridge as they push it across the length of a standard tennis court. So far today, the
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

P=39.2205\, watt

E=374.948 \,cal

Explanation:

Given that:

  • force applied, F=66\,N
  • displacement, s=23.77\,m (length of a tennis court)
  • time taken for pushing, t = 40 s

Since, work is given by:

W=F.s

W=66\times 23.77

W=1568.82\,J

Now, power is given as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

P=\frac{1568.82}{40}

P=39.2205 \,watt

Calories consumed is:

E= 1568.82\times 0.239

E=374.948\, cal
